CascadeMenu.js onmouseclose

Hi,
I'm trying to modify a javascript menu so that once the mouse leaves it, it will close.  The script I'm using along with an example can be found here: http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/cascade-menu.html .

I added this part to it: menuItem.onMouseout= new Function("HideMenu(menuBar)")... but it doesn't seem to help any....

thanks

function InitMenu()
   {
     var bar = menuBar.children     
 
     for(var i=0;i < bar.length;i++) 
        {
          var menu=eval(bar[i].menu)
          menu.style.visibility = "hidden"
          bar[i].onmouseover = new Function("ShowMenu("+bar[i].id+")")
          var Items = menu.children
          for(var j=0; j<Items.length; j++)
            {
              var menuItem = eval(Items[j].id)
                
                if(menuItem.menu != null)
                   { 
                    menuItem.innerHTML += "<Span Id="+menuItem.id+"_Arrow class='Arrow'>4</Span>"
                    //var tmp = eval(menuItem.id+"_Arrow")
                    // tmp.style.pixelLeft = menu.getBoundingClientRect().Right //- tmp.offsetWidth - 15
                    FindSubMenu(menuItem.menu)}
